Finding Place and Discovering Home
How do you find place? How to find the place which is truly called home?
It's fun to explore...
But finding a home, a place that supports your nature, is more than just exploring.
Discover how to taste potential. Feel out what it would mean to live there. Listen to the tenor of the people, chat to strangers in cafes, gas stations, libraries, main squares. Sit down and poke about the area and parks to get the feeling of the beat of any place you explore.
When imagining what a place is like, you also create a fantasy of what the best it can be. ( and miss the parts that get you in trouble later) Instead feel potentials, compare the potentials to your own life. Examine this relative to how it would be supportive to letting you unfold as a person. Talk to others to get the perspective you miss, reach out and connect to those who live it every day to get the normal day to day aspects of life.
If you can't connect to the people when visiting... then you won't connect if you live there later. Feel your own senses of how you release. If you feel tense in a place then it isn't a place to live, but if you breathe easier.. then follow that and look for the elements that make you breathe easier.
Over time you will find the conditions that match your nature and then when accidentally stumbling across your true home, it will become clear as the potential home it represents
A Taoist in training will wander the world to discover their nature. In this wandering you taste the potential of the world around you, and when you find the place that matches the needs of your own potential...
You discover
Home

I think it is almost time for me to wander the world again. I don't belong where I am anymore.
Mmmm, that's what I find, JRC -- 25 years in a place and I'm tired of it. ;^) Gotta figure out where to spend the next 25!
So much extra potential for change bouncing about. It makes it harder to feel settled in a place with so much possibility here and there :) much luck to each of you in exploring new places to be!
